Yes, pencil lead is a conductor of electricity. Lead is a metal. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Assuming of course you mean pencils back when lead was actually used as the writing medium in the pencil, then yes. Other than that, pencils nowadays are made using graphite as the writing medium. But graphite too can conduct electricity.
What else can I help you with?
Is a pencil lead is insulator or conductor?
Pencil lead is a conductor.
Is a lead of a pencil conductor or insulator.?
A lead of a pencil is a conductor because it is made of graphite, which allows electricity to flow through it. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to the free movement of electrons in its molecular structure.
Is pencil lead a conductor of electricity?
yes pencil lead is a conductor it is made of graphite(a form of carbon) which is good conductor of electricity
Is pencil lead a good conductor?
a good insulator
Is a pencil an insulator or a conductor?
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
What is the poorest electrical conductor is it pencil lead glass steel or aluminum?
Pencil lead is the poorest electrical conductor among the materials listed. While steel and glass are poor conductors, aluminum is a relatively good conductor of electricity.
Does pencil lead have coal in it?
No, modern pencil "lead" is actually made of a mixture of graphite and clay, not coal. Graphite is a form of carbon that is a good conductor of electricity and is commonly used in pencils due to its smooth writing properties.
What is the element of pencil lead?
The element of pencil lead is graphite, which is not actually lead but rather a form of carbon. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity and is commonly used in pencils due to its ability to leave marks on paper.
Electric currents will pass along a pencil lead true or false?
False, Pb (lead) is an electrolyte and can pass electricity VERY efficiently, but unfortunately pencil "lead" is actually graphite, which is a derivative of stone, and will not effectively pass an electric current.
How does electricity flow through a pencil?
Electricity flows through a pencil when it is used as a conductor to complete a circuit. The graphite in the pencil lead allows electrons to flow through it, creating a closed path for the electricity to follow. This is possible because graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
What do all conductor have in common?
Most conductors are metals, meaning they conduct heat! For example...paper clips, penny, even pencil lead (which is a poor conductor).
Is a pencil an insulator or conductor of electricity?
Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical. The wood in a pencil is an insulator. If it is wet, it is a poorer insulator, but only a poor conductor. The carbon (lead) in the pencil is a poor conductor. The metal holding the eraser is a good conductor. The rubber eraser is a poor conductor. You really have to address the conductivity of specific substances, not items that are build from a variety of substances.
